Default Layering

Before living in Southwestern Va I lived in NY and grew up hunting there and in the Poconos in Pa. Temps vary in all these places and I found that an Underarmour base layer, which does a terrific job of wicking moisture has been the ticket in all locations (since it became available). Typically I’ll add a couple more light layers, one being merino wool when it’s cold to that. My plan is to be able to add layers , or remove them, based on changing conditions but in all cases they tend to be lighter in weight and all are moisture wicking. I’m also a strong believer in having something that I can zip up around my neck when it gets chilly. I don’t think any one garment works for everything so I have options and use them accordingly. Lastly, I like pockets as I’m a bow hunter and hate shooting with heavy gloves so being able to keep my hands warm while I wait is critical to me. Been doing this for a long time (46 years of hunting) and as materials improved over that time I adjusted.
